The main theme from the film (Theme of Exodus) has been widely remixed and covered by many artists. The most popular version was an instrumental by Ferrante and Teicher, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960. It was kept of out the No. 1 spot by Wonderland by Night by Bert Kaempfert. This version became a gold record. Another version was recorded by jazz saxophonist Eddie Harris. Other versions were recorded by Mantovani, Grant Green, Manny Albam, Andy Williams, Peter Nero, Connie Francis, Quincy Jones, the 1960s British instrumental band the Eagles, and the Duprees, who sang the theme with lyrics written by Pat Boone. Other artists include gospel pianist Anthony Burger (in the Gaither Vocal Band's I Do Believe), singer Edith Piaf (who sang French lyrics), and classical pianist Maksim Mrvica. Davy Graham reinvented the main theme on his 1963 album The Guitar Player. Trey Spruance of the Secret Chiefs 3 re-scored the theme for "surf band and orchestra" on the album 2004 Book of Horizons. Howard Stern uses it for comedic effect when discussing aspects of Jewish life. A portion of the theme was covered live by '70s Southern Rock band Black Oak Arkansas, whose 3 lead guitarists used eBows to play the theme in harmony, embedded into a cover of the Buddy Holly song Not Fade Away. Different samples of the Exodus theme have been used in several hip-hop songs, including Ice-T's song Ice's Exodus from the album The Seventh Deadly Sin, Nas's song You're Da Man from the album Stillmatic, and T.I.'s song Bankhead from the album King. A portion of the main title was included in a montage arranged by composer John Williams and performed at the 2002 Academy Awards ceremony. The artist Nina Paley used the entire theme song to satirical effect in her animated short, titled after the lyrics, This Land is Mine (2012), which depicts thousands of years of violent struggles to control the Holy Land. Although not in an official film soundtrack, a Chopin Nocturne was played while General Sutherland and Kitty Fremont discussed the future of Jews and Palestine.
